The 1950 Season
The very first Formula One World Championship crowned Italy's Nino Farina as its inaugural champion, driving for the dominant Alfa Romeo team. Farina led an all-conquering trio of Alfa drivers known as the 'Three Fs' alongside Juan Manuel Fangio and Luigi Fagioli, with the Alfetta 158 sweeping nearly every race it entered.
Farina edged Fangio in a tight title fight that went to the final round, the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, which Farina won to clinch the crown. The championship spanned just seven races, oddly including the Indianapolis 500, and the season established Grand Prix racing's premier series.
